Cardiovascular rhythms, their adjustment to schedule change and shift work
Minneapolis, MN(1989)
Abstract
With illustrative chronobiologic methodology, the rules of rhythm shifting by work schedule manipulation are reviewed with reference to self-measured or ambulatory blood pressure and heart rate. The literature on the cardiovascular performance of shift workers studied with miniaturized devices or by self-measurement is reviewed and the systolic blood pressure status of 36 police officers presented. 53% of these officers had blood pressure excess. The cosinor approach defines blood pressure characteristics and their deviation with respect to those of healthy peers by fitting cosine curves for assessing static and dynamic parameters. Some of these chronobiologic endpoints are introduced in the minicourse to stimulate their use in particular for individuals under a burden such as police work on shifting schedules
